[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
Thanks for the reply.

I have recently updated to 4.1.1 OTA and notices the battery of my mobile phone is draining quite quickly.

I am thinking to root the device and update it to 4.2.2 (i think its latest available).

Is it possible ? Where to find software to update ?

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
it is very much possible. u r on maguro/toro/toroplus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
How to chek that if im on moguro or anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
What county are you in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
It is maguro device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
here's the link of the stock 4.2.2 ROM for maguro

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takjujdq39
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
Once i have downloaded the rom

I have to unlock bootloader, root the device and then flash 4.2.2 on the device. Is it right ?

And when i will flash custom roms on device it will replace the stock 4.2.2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
far streona

yes & yes...

(& u don't have to root your device to flash this ROM) :)

please click on THANKS, if I have helped you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
I dnt have to root my device to update it to 4.2.2 ?

How to do that? Can u refer me some tutorial for that.

The only way i knew was to root the device and then update it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
follow this one...

if you have any question/confusion, feel free to ask :good:

please click on THANKS, if I have helped you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
if i flash with any custom rom, will it overwrite the 4.1.1 and is there possibility that it will solve my battery drqain problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
yes, it will overwrite.

the battery life is more related to Kernel than ROM; so to get good battery life it would be better to flash a good kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
I have seen different tutorials for updating galaxy nexus to 4.2.2. It says something like this

"In order to do the update your device needs to be running build JOP40D"

But when i saw my settings in the mobile, my built number appears to be

JRO03C.I9250JPLH2

Now whats the point here .. ?

how to update the device in this situation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
fastboot flash system nameofsystemimage.img

fastboot flash boot nameofbootimage.img

quite simple actually
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
the question here is that the build number of my device donot agree as given according to pre requistes of the process as per tutorials ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
It would support JRO03C... in the 2nd screenshot (below the two videos) in the post u can find that it supports JRO03C (it's at no. 5 under the list of device model & build) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
If you use the stock google 4.2.2 images, it doesnt matter what you currently have....you would be replacing it.

if you are trying to run an OTA file, then it might matter....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
so i dont need to unlock bootloader or root phone to update it to 4.2.2 .. right ?

i have to simply follow any tutorial to update mobile to 4.2.2 ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
of course u need to unlock bootloader, but don't need to root.

all these included in the toolkit,,,just follow it :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
what if i unlock bootloader, root my device and then update the device to 4.2.2

is there any problem in it ?

coz i want to install custom roms later on device so i want to root it for once and for all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
what option should i select to update to 4.2.2 in gnex toolkit after i have unlock bootloader and root the mobile ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
no...no problem

9. Download, Extract + Flash Google Factory Stock Rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arslan_sweeto1:
i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device .

now when i pressed the option 9 to update to 4.2.2

it said "if u have rooted the device , updating the image will effectively unroot it"

so what ?

it will unroot my device . ?

and i will be rooting it again after updating the software ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
you should stop.

just stop.

go read what root actually is, then come back and look at your question.

THIS very thing has been asked 100 thousand times in these forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neob.abragil:
that's why I've told you that you don't have to root for updating to stock 4.2.2

I'm looking to get best buy to match the cheapest UPGRADE price I can found. Anyone found anything cheaper than $199.99?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin420:
just take your phone in with the newline price already loaded on the page. i doubt they will check in to it too much.

they pricematched me for 149 on an upgrade that clearly said new line on the ad. the guy didnt care. i went back in two weeks later with a new print out showing 99 bucks and they refunded 50 dollars to my credit card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] klbjr:
Austin got lucky. I just left BB about an hour ago activating 2 new Note 2's and they price matched Amazon at the $199.99 but they pulled it up on their own computers. I tried to show them my phone but said they had it. Plus they informed me that this is the last month that they will be price matching cellphones. Don't know how true, but both the girls at the station made sure they let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] santos331:
Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price

I brought in a print out of the web page with a time stamp on the bottom. They were able to price match my phone. This is a hit or miss thing tho. I knew the supervisor of the mobile department and he explained to me that its at the discretion of the supervisor. He also said the reason why some bestbuys would not price match was because of the extra cancelation fees some sites have. Not sure why it would make a difference but thats what he told me.

Edit: got it for $169
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CDKJudoka:
I heard the same thing, but it is actually the 30-day price guarantee that they are doing away with. I paid $199 for mine. Radio shack has the best price for new, $169.00.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PsycloneTW:
Not better than Amazon for $69.99 - http://wireless.amazon.com/Samsung-..._rd_i=G001&pf_rd_p=1387943862&pf_rd_s=right-9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CDKJudoka:
Yeah that would have been great if she went by that price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rruss:
Re: [Q] Cheapest UPGRADE price

Best buy by my house is full of **** went in there with the printed ad and they said they couldn't pricematch it cuz amazons price had expired in Nov of 2012 and he showed me on the screen at Nov 2012 date but that was the day the phone came out!! I didn't complain though cuz I was trying to trick them into giving it to me for the new line price on a upgrade lol but you gotta be stern with them cuz they will try to get out of it

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
i've been reading reports of users with N4's getting upwards of 50% increased battery life with the latest stock 4.2.2 update... found multiple people reporting the same thing on the N7 as well... i wonder what was in that update and i wonder if anyone that was using a 4.2.1 ROM that's now on 4.2.2 can share their experience on any increases or decreases they've noticed...

I'm currently running BB7, which is a 4.2.1 based ROM... was thinking of trying another ROM but obviously want to go to a 4.2.2 ROM with theme chooser to find out... just want some feedback before i make the jump...

On Paranoid Android 3.0 and hellybean 4.2.2 I can say very good battery life with a good kernel
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
i flashed a test build for BB8 earlier today... charged up and so far with sync on (usually kills my battery) and 4G/gps on as well and i dropped about 5% in just about 1.5hrs... that seems pretty good for me so far... i usually have to turn off sync and all data services to stay at a steady % for a while... hopefully when i turn thos things off, it won't barely drop... oh and that's with like 10mins of screen so far lol... just a few texts and screenshots to upload some images for my new theme!

That's insane... o_o do you have only the screen turned out and didn't do anything? No way in hell someone can get 7 hours of on screen time in 1 charge and still have 26%, unless the phone was charged inbetween, just not completely.

LOL. You can make JFK'ish conspiracies if you want to.

I just posted a screenshot of what i saw on my screen a few hours ago. :D

2g-only mode + minimum brightness + nfc-off, gps-off, data-off, wifi-off afaik
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
How does the battery screen look though?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
i'm extremely lucky if i can get 3hrs of screen time... i usually would get around 2-2.5hrs of screen... i also usually have 4G turned on... that 7hrs is not normal and def looks like an extended battery... no way thats stock... if so, what are your exact settings?

btw, my 2 days on 4.2.2 so far have been about the same as with 4.2.1 as far as battery goes... maybe a slight increase in idle time when i have everything turned off (not airplane just data/wifi/gps/sync/etc turned off)... still too early to tell for sure tho!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
So basically you don't use the device other than to take screenshots of your screen on time...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldbr:
that cant be true...i used that combination many times and the most screen time i got was 4h30. i have seen some guys reach 5h and something but 7h and still 26% is just ridiculous. did you restore a nandroid backup that had screen on time recorded or something?

the only way i could consider that is if you put the cpu max @100mhz and left the phone with the screen on for those 7 hours without touching it lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killasmoke:
The best I've ever gotten was 5:20 hours of screen on time with a few 4+ hours of screen on time. I can only do it if I have WiFi & great signal like 3 or 4 bars & the ROM has to be CM10 stable which gives me best battery I've ever gotten I've said this in a few threads already. I can't believe 7+ hours of screen on time with stock 1500mah battery in the Nexus S!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
i'm doing a test now to see how much screen on time i can get from my battery... i started it late... but we'll see what happens lol...

basically my phone is just sitting wthi the screen on and all other signals turned off...

I'm using it as a phone. lol

Anyway,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
sorry forgot to post... but here it is... i started this "test" around 60% and just set the screen to 30min timer and touched it every 10mins or so just in case... even with idle, and no signals on, i can barely squeeze 3hrs of use out of it... i have decent signal here in my apartment too... usually 2-3 bars... i've no idea how someone could get 7hrs of screen on and actually be functional... i'm just gonna wave the bs flag b/c i'm not seeing it as possible...

maybe it is, but i don't believe it especially b/c i can't even replicate half of that time with usage and even then it's only plausible... the ONLY thing i can possibly think of is the phone with those times don't have an account setup and/or any apps installed so they can leave wifi on all day long and nothing is ever trying to sync so of course it's not draining the battery...

here's the screens i got... and this was with about 2hrs of actual usage with 4G/sync on...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
officially calling BS on this with the stock battery... no way that is happening on stock!

I'm not creating a new belief system and/or religious organization so there's no point convincing anyone that this is "the truth" lol. :good:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
lmao... i LITERALLY was about to reply before i finished reading your post with "you pretty much only use your phone to make a few calls and listen to music (not streaming)." then i finished your post and got to it... yeah i can tell from the way you describe it that you don't use your phone much other than some basics... having no apps that really sync with the phone and nothing but a few texts and calls and music... i'm sure i'd get great battery life too... unfortunately if i'm out, i need my email for business, along with social media for the same and to just connect with people... i also stream music since my genre of music is always new... so we can start to see the differences here and how my battery life would never be like yours...

i could only imagine what life your phone would get if it was a Note2 :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Still surprised to see 5 hours screen on time with still 37% left on the battery. That means you could pull 7 hours of screen time, where no one was never able to pull much more than 5 hours... Is that the stock battery or a third party one that you later bought that is similar to stock?

Many people have ran similar configuration yet never achieved close to that, some even with plane mode on...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Stock battery from samsung when i bought the device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Impressive then. Don't really know what else to say.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
OK so even if you did get those stats with a stock battery it still isn't relevant to this thread. I would imagine most people do not get nice smart phones with expensive data plans just to disable all of the features that make these devices so great.

Also just to clarify, when you say listen to MP3s, you mean ones that are stored on your sdcard?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1dynasty:
assuming his post says data off etc... this means songs stored on the device... still impressive stats... but like you said... not real applicable to anyone that actually uses their phone for more than just phone calls and mp3's
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
I'm gonna turn off data, sync, etc. for a few days just to see if I can get anywhere close to those stats. It would be nice to know in an emergency situation how much battery life you can count on...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ted Mosby:
My friend is using his Xperia Arc smartphone completely as a dumbphone, only for messages and phone calls. He reaches 5 days without problems. He doesn't have data plan at all, nor he uses any apps. For him, small screen is simply inconvenient for browsing...

But question is, why use smartphone in first place when u can use more convenient feature phone, like Nokia Asha devices for ex., with mechanical qwerty keyboard and brutal battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
The main reason i bought the Nexus S is because of voodoo sound i heard from head-fi, so i can replace my 5yr old phone and my 1yr old mp3 player in one device. I also like the UI and the customizability of the roms developed. Also, when i needed wifi it's there. I don't use the smartphone features everyday but i find them handy on several occasions. :)

By removing the iso files from the rom maybe?

Na that just leaves empty CD-ROM drives thanks though.

You can disable the CDrom in Viper DNA. You use the Venom Settings app. I do not how to do it in stock.

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Where are the iso's located.
[HTC Droid DNA] lazarus2297:
/etc/

should be PCTOOLS.iso and CDROM.iso
[HTC Droid DNA] Crackanug:
I found just renaming them (if you can) to PCTOOLS.iso.bak and CDROM.iso.bak is a sufficient way to disable them without having to delete them. Just in case if you ever need them, they are still there and can simply renamed again.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Thanks guys! But ya I'm well aware of the delete the .ISO files being doing that for years. That doesn't keep the CD-ROMs from mounting in windows though it just makes them blank disks. I'm also aware of the following method which doesn't work:

Dial ##7764726

Hit Call

Type Password is 000000

Hit Feature Settings

Choose CD ROM

Click Disable

Hit menu, commit modifications (it will say no item changed)

Back out to home

I think nitsuj17 knows how to do it but I've just about exhausted my resources for all my ROM questions. Maybe I'll post my questions in Chef Central..

Also they don't mount in OSX at all its just a windows thing.

I have been searching for about three days and all I could find was people saying that a new one cant. Without having to use a custom rom is it able to add multitasking that amazon removed back on a rooted kindle fire HD?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
It depends on what you mean by "multitasking". If you are talking about the ability to switch between apps without losing everything...it already does that. Any time you move away from an app, it goes into suspend mode and is stored in cache. In suspend mode, the app is no longer running code, therefore there is no processing being done on it until it is called back again. It's not really "multitasking" in the truest sense but that's how ICS does it.

On the other hand, if you're talking about the "history" button, that brings up a list with screenshots of your recent apps in their suspended state...the 2G KFs do not have that feature.
